NOL middle distance at Rowdy Flat. What an awful run! I screwed up the first control three times: once at the start triangle, then mid-leg, then right in the circle. I managed to string a few good controls together, lost a little in the circle at 5 and a bit more at 6. Spiked 17 after 7 but then managed to get 8 cleanly too, lost contact mid-way to 9 but stuck to my compass, relocated and got it, spiked 16 from 11 but then got 12 cleanly, and then it really fell apart. Bad route and lost contact on 13, got completely confused at 14 after running right past it and lost well over 10min, mucked up a few after that, including, ironically, 16 and 17 which I'd already been to, but my head wasn't really in it by this point. I had a nightmare about it at 5am the next morning.
